SkyBet Review

8 races on itv and skybet only have best odds guaranteed on 4 races. Total rip off. I will be changing to another online betting site immediately. The squeeze is on Skybet trying to get as much as possible. Why not give best odds guaranteed on win only bets.

Slots and live casino don’t do it. You won’t win. You can’t win, I’ve tried so many times, it’s absolutely impossible. It’s so fixed (fact). Not a sore loser I don’t expect to win all the time, but maybe money back every so often, not on this site just lose lose lose.

Love the app (very user friendly) and they are actually pretty good at dealing with issues with customers, in my experience. I tried a few other sites recently but have reverted to skybet. Customer service has been the main factor for me.

Had to score 1 star to leave a review
Constantly unable to get onto promotions
If you don’t want customers to use them, don’t offer
In Several years I have not reaped many rewards 😩

No stars but have to put 1 to write this…Dodgy, Dodgy, Dodgy these people will rip you off as soon as look at you, they have so many ways not to pay you out it is unreal, their systems are rigged to rob you, I seriously can't believe they have not been investigated by the gambling commission, wake up gambling commission you would have a field day! Don't use them people, they have robbed me for the last time, Bye Bye Skybet!!!

I have been Suspended permanently and I can not see any reason why. Not in profit and only a few E/W bets. It is Disrespectful to not give some sort of reason Customer service just say they do not have to give a reason it is in T&C's. Made an official complaint and get the same answer.
If i have done something wrong then I would like and expect to know what it is I am being accused of. They do not care about customers. If enough people avoid Sky bet then they will have no option but to close down.

Skybet making betting worse! Offer extra places at a 5th instead of 1/4 odds which is the normal but no best price like b365 paddypower n every proper bookies do, account closed!!

If you are betting on live sports its ok with a good layout and easy navigation but dont bet on the live casino pure scam, Also it lacks good promotions and free bets so not a good betting site to stick with.

Absolutely shocking! Placed a 33/1 bet before the liverpool v leicester game lastnight won the bet then was notified that skybet made a mistake with their odds and was told i would only be credited with a 16/1 offer return. Basically said they mistakes 33/1 with 13/1 which is a complete lie as i do shots on target on a lot of games before hey kick off and the odds are always over 20/1 so they have lied blamed it on technical issue n scammed me out of half my profit the absolute Pusssyboys.

Just lately when placeing abet online I accept advertised price only to find when I go to bet slip price is always changed 90% of the time shorter odds. With in play betting you can accept this but this also happens before the start of the event. Would not mind if sometimes the price was better but no always shorter

I would give it 0 if I could. Opened an account with them deposited 500 on casino and lost then another 500 and lost and then 1000 and lost . Then after about a month deposited 500 and was lucky and hit it big on roulette and won 50k .withdrew 20k and after 2 minutes account suspended . Asked for kyc
1.passport with selfie
2. 2 months unredacted bank statements
3. Picture of the card

Provided all and then received a phone call where the safer gambling staff was accusing me of not being the person even though sent passport with selfie dated on the day . 'Reason for this is I've been in the country just 3 years and my accent sounds too good'
Then he said the 2k total deposited from my bank the month before was paid into my account by another person 2 days before I deposited it so now he is asking for that persons proof of Id ..
This is just the tactics they use to delay withdrawals and find ways which will make it unlikely for them to payout.

The customer service spoke to me like I was a down and out drunken betting addict, surely with all the money they make they can afford decent staff.

Constantly restrict people's accounts! Terrible gaming experience. Don't fall for the daily free stuff, you only win 5p/10p plays on grabba dabba ballbag. Avoid!

Roll on next year when they wont be trading anymore

Don’t touch take your money, with card but when you need to withdraw card doesn’t work

Used to be my go to site, but the decision to stop offering best odds guaranteed on extra places is a major show stopper for me, and I now choose to lose more of my money elsewhere.

Reply

After these shysters decided to remove their BOG for races where extra places are paid out, that was a game changer for me.
I only place bets on a win only basis, so the new policy places me at a disadvantage. I have had other negative experiences with this outfit so this new strategy is the straw that breaks the camels back.
There are plenty of other bookmakers who are more reputable than this lot so the app will be deleted and it’s time to move on.

Reply

The odds on the horse racing have started to seem lower than the odds on sky sports racing since they stopped BOG on extra place races. A horse that just came second went off at 9-2 and when resulted it was 6-1. You would only get the 9-2 on an extra place race

Please please do not use these cowboys they ripped me off for the 2nd occasion regarding my placepot . I emailed them to try and resolve it but they do not reply . Somebody there is on the fiddle so please stay well clear of this disgraceful outfit . Kev grimsby

Skybet suspended my account for reason that I do not know!!. Made many attempts through chat lines, e mail and provided all the documents that they sasked for but to no avail. My account is now suspended for 6 days (YES SIX!!!) and I am locked away from my money!!. Suggest you also tweet or facebook to shame the shameless Skybet.

Just announced that Biden won, just because CNN announced it, that’s not how it works… he’s not the president yet. That’s cheating!!! Also my account got suspended… for what?!?
Sky bet it’s a fraud as well!!!

So far so good, loads of great offers, one of my favourite bookies. No problems so far. fingers crossed it stays that way.

Amazing the amount of similar reviews, which I’d not previously read. I’ve had an account for around 20 years, used sparingly the last 5 years. Tuesday I deposited 200 for a patent extra places all 3 races. Had some cash left so played on slots, won 3k. Withdrew 2k. Within an hour got an email saying my account was suspended and I needed to provide the usual (which I would have done years earlier) sent all documents over promptly and still no response 5 days later. Surely this is theft??

Changed the rules on best price places on extra placed horses. Twice A Horse I backed was placed on higher odds and they paid on the lower odds. Robbing Customers Left And Centre. Closing My Account Now

Worst site ever shame there's not zero star's, slow site for betting nothing loads, markets always suspended for ages, dont even get me started on the slots, rip off merchants,you can spend hundreds and not get one bonus, every other site gives three four more times the bonuses you get with sky,i don't know how this company is still in existence

Reply

AVOID AT ALL COSTS do not look after their customers since opening my account 5 years ago I have never had a decent bet given to me my average stake is probably over 50 amd not once I. That time have they given me a free bet. Also the bet in play is the worst I have ever experienced and you bet in play and before being placed it will go in their gavour and bet goes through if it changes in your faviur it gets stopped they are crooks. 888 sport and bet 365 are by far the best.

Robbed again. Tossers.

Don’t play on the slots or any live games you simply can’t win. It’s so rigged it’s unbelievable. If you miss out 5 numbers on live roulette they will find them every spin. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Reply

I have been a customer for 5 years and on the slots you don't win I have bet lots of money and not won there say the slots are tested but there are rigged not to pay out and you will always lose your money I recommend don't waste your money on here

I have been a customer for over 10 years . But today my account is suspended, skybet asked for my passport and birth certificate, even though I already given them those docs 6 years ago?? Thank God I had no money in the account. DO NOT TRUST SKYBET

Part 2
Radio streaming Most sports companies offer radio and/or video streaming. But not SkyBet.
On 31/08/20 SkyBet wrote “Regarding a radio service, this isn't something we offer unfortunately, as we have the racing stream service this isn't something we would be looking to implicate (implicate?) we can only offer our apologies there.” But you don’t have a streaming service!!!, didn’t you know? Or maybe you just can’t be bothered?
Concluding
Five months after the start of Coronavirus SkyBet don’t have their lines of communication communicating including postal contact, SkyBet don’t offer streamed radio because SkyBet don’t also have video racing streaming. SkyBet decline to take their supplier to book and happily pay their charges for a service that is faulty for a number of months while spinning fairy tales to their customers and decide that those customers have no basis to complain while they say that they welcome their input, the CEO appears to be untouchable and couldn’t care less despite having been sent a recorded delivery letter which he declined to acknowledge.
To sum up, the customers appear to have no reason to complain because nothing is SkyBet’s fault or its equipment fault, or their marketing department fault. It is our fault because we are stupid for being their customers and we are a nuisance anyway.
Am I wrong with my statement that SkyBet seems to be a Mickey Mouse outfit? Sorry, Mr Mickey.

Got an account with sky bet, deposited 400 and won back 700, withdrew the money via nationwide (guaranteed within 2 hours usually immediately) then after 3 hours realised no money in the bank. Went on live help, told that the refund has been processed may take a bit longer than usual as high amount( when making a withdraw says max 1500 within 2 hour quick refund process) anyway left a bad review as clueless on what she was doing. Try to log in moments later and my account has been frozen!! Go on live chat and been told my withdrawal has been reversed! My account has been open months verified etc, the reason is they can’t verify my card…. absolutely laughable as taken multiple deposits over the last month, first sign of withdrawal and I get this. Now they are point blank refusing me my money. Said I would take legal action.

Part 1
Is SkyBet a Mickey Mouse outfit?
SkyBet advertises itself as, quoting from their complaints procedure, “ Here at Sky Betting and Gaming our mission is to make Betting and Gaming better. But sometimes things go wrong – if there's something you're not happy about please tell us straight away, so we can put it right”. If only it were true. Let us see what they could but won’t put right and the efficiency on other areas. What Skybet would put right would be issues that have a legal connection. If there is no legal involvement Skybet will try to confuse you with all kind of excuses, shifting blame BUT will not try to help or correct. Their site seems to lack maintenance and updates. Quotations will follow shortly.
Video SkyBet advertises their streaming services with the CAPTION “Bet at least 1 to watch a race” In my book this constitutes a commitment.
About six months ago, well before Covi-19 made an appearance, the streaming services started to play up. On percentage terms around 60% racecourses were not streaming; instead we were getting a black screen (not blank, but black screen) full stop. Expecting it to be short terms I decided to make do with the racing radio.
Racing Radio There wasn’t any racing radio! I suffered it for a while expecting it to be a temporary fault. Eventually, sometime in June, well into Covi time, I decided to contact SkyBet customer services. A screen opened:
Customer services I was presented with an impressive menu: Telephone, Live chat, SkyBetHelp on Twitter, Chat with us on Messenger,
I was told “You can get there using this link”: and they supplied a link
The phone was off line The Live chat “sorry our agents are off line” Messenger attended to bet issues handling (legality involved), Twitter I don’t use, there wasn’t an e-mail address available.
I managed to get in touch with customer services despite the attempted discouraging noises by demanding an email address. The following advices were given to me:
If you wish to apply a self-exclusion to your account, please contact us via one of the following methods: In here, SkyBet supplied a live chat link that was unavailable and a telephone number which was also unavailable.
10/08/20 if you attempt to contact us now you should experience no issues.
30/10/20 Still unavailable
Complaints procedure I lodged a complaint and Skybet replied to it:
“To address your complaint I can see that you are unhappy with the contact us page you used to contact us previously” referring to May, June and August contact including screen shots. In June I was told that the communications system was temporarily faulty.
For an online company that depends on communication this was rich
This is now the end of October, how long is temporarily?
“We do really appreciate your feedback as a customer regarding our help and support pages, we use all customers feedback to improve our services. Really?
I was told “You can get there using this link and a link was included. SkyBet didn’t add that the link works but the content doesn’t
If you see this message again please refresh your page and if that doesn't resolve it please take another screenshot and email it over to us at -and they supplied an email address
I don’t work for Skybet, SkyBet doesn’t seem to look at the screen shots properly
“Based on the information provided and as stated above, I'm afraid I am unable to uphold your complaint. We believe this is a fair outcome in the circumstances (circumstances?) and you have now reached the end of our internal complaints process” They forgot to add “Like it or lump it”
And “Your item being sent through the Post will not be replied to any time soon” This is an International company playing at an international level and no ready to deal with an emergency situation as is Covi (or hiding behind the parapet avoiding any communication)
Video First, Customer services blamed my set-up. I told them that if the set-up was wrong I wouldn’t get ANY streaming and that I had been receiving streaming for months, that I could stream fine with other companies. Then I was asked for screen shots. I sent them several. They returned telling me that the shots should include racecourses and dates. Those details were within the screen shot if they had cared to look at them properly. Finally, we came to the nitty gritty part.
I raised the video issue as early as March 2020. After much too-ing and fro-ing I got this “Due to unforeseen technical reasons, Bet & Watch services may not be available at all times. Sky Bet will not be held responsible if these services are not available for technical reasons or other reasons beyond our control
They appear to be saying “if it is not legal don’t bother complaining because we will not try to get it fixed”
PS I have a shorter closing follow up but can't get it in Help?

Worst betting site ever. Having extra places instead of guaranteed odds is robbing the customer. It has cost me over €100 yesterday on a bet. I wount be using them again.
